006 | [Situation] At the N. [North] side of the Victoria Harbour, This interesting ruin stands at the northern extremity and presents a peculiarly bold appearance, in the feudal lines it was deemed impregnable, and withstood many sieges, the time of its erection cannot be ascertained but it had been ascribed to the Picts a race of the ancient Caledonians at an early period when they established one of their strongholds in the Lothians. It is built of red sand stone similar to that still found in the neighbouring quarries. (turn over) [Continued on page 41] |

Ordnance Survey - East Lothian county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of East Lothian, which is in the east of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
